Popis: Two cases of Down's syndrome who had initially clinical and hematological pictures resembling acute leukemia are reported. The first case, a 10-day-old boy (47, XY, +21), at first he was thought to have a leukemia and received the chemotherapy. The second case, a 2-day-old boy (47, XY, +21), he was not treated with antileukemic agent. These all clinical and hematologic abnormalities disappeared over a period of few months. Thus they never really had true leukemia. Nagao and associates to ascribe these leukocyte disorders to Transient abnormal myelopoiesis (TAM) rather than to true leukemia.
